    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I think it's just at the discretion of the retailers, in this instance I bought it from Tim at NorthWest RC so he's warrantying it for me since I had the propeller all of 3 days.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well I had a blast this weekend. Flew my Edge on Saturday and Sunday, finally getting the thing dial'd into where I want it. The DA120 is ridiculously overpowered for the airplane and the Falcon 28x9.5 prop pulls AWESOME!! I think I'm going to ditch the Pulse 2550 packs in favor of some Pulse...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Had a relatively productive day today since I had the day off. Started with finding my RF7 software this morning and repairing the dongle so it would work again. Then received my new Jeti DPS40 electronic switch later in the day, got to work putting it into my Edge. This should safely provide...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well I wanted to fly the Edge again today but to make a long story short, I left my Tx case at the field for the Edge and I had to make an emergency trip out to our vacation home last night to bring my dad a spare key for his truck (2.5 hours away) since his was no longer working. Decided to...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well the little changes I made did the trick! She flies AWESOME!! I have a Falcon 28x9.5 propeller coming for it that'll hopefully smooth out the throttle response a little, I have a really deep curve to keep the engine from blasting out of any on the deck maneuvers with the 27x11.

    Help! 33% Pilot Yak 54 CG?

    Are you sure it's 97" and not 107" A 33% Yak 54 is technically ~107".

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well the day finally came, had to let 2 of my airplanes go to a new owner. My 91" Aerobeez Slick 540 and my 70" Aerobeez Slick Pro. The new owner came and picked them up today, completely RTF minus receiver. Had many a fond times with them, but it's time to move onto bigger and better stuff...

    I don't know but I would certainly hope that in 2.5 years it would have at least grown on him :eek:

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Finished the setup on my 2 rudder servos last night. A 3" double and a 1.5" single SWB arm with a link in between the 2 arms. I love it when 2 servos move in perfect synchronicity :epic: And all of this translates to roughly 40 degrees of rudder throw, which I think should be plenty.

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    I'm betting that really thin section of the cowl between the intake and the muffler will eventually crack. I'd reinforce the inside of it with some fiberglass at least to strengthen it up. Also I agree with the permatex, Terry Wiles did a really good video on how to make the gasket from that...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Your powers of observation serve you well. They are actually the same servo, the only difference between the HSB-9360, 70, and 80 is 2 gears inside of them that change the speed of the output shaft. Since we are out of stock on 9380's, I just got a 9370 and changed the 2 gears inside of it to...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I just added a thin washer to 3 of the mounting standoffs between the engine and the standoff, the spinner is just ever so slightly off center if you REALLY look for it, but otherwise it's unnoticeable. I also added my 2nd rudder servo, still waiting on SWB arms from NorthWest RC (actually USPS).
